DMSI 3.3D Day 7
Today's the first day I skipped my loops as per instructions. I started listening to DMSI on Friday afternoon and then switched to listening at night, so Wednesday and Thursday nights are DMSI-free.
Last few days had been quite tough and to be honest I don't feel any different now. Weak and tired, with relatively little motivation. That makes me angry and disappointed at myself, but somehow I cannot easily turn this anger into action like I could just before starting my 3.3D run. Resistance?
Some time before this run I also wrote how there are many things I would like to improve in myself and if I started to work on all of them at the same time I would get overwhelmed. That's true, I don't believe in 180 degrees shift overnight and I would rather make slow progress, making new habits and destroying old ones. I believe DMSI can help me with that (and if bad crap is going to continue for 3 months I will switch to LTU anyway) but it ain't gonna do it for me. Also I believe being aware of my problems and facing them is the first step towards change.
So I made a list of things I would like to improve in the next year. 12 points for 12 months. The list is not comprehensive, if I wanted to I could add another dozen of points. The idea is that each month I will focus on one of those points. It won't be exclusive and the points intertwine, so it's not like I will work only on point nr 1 for example and the rest can wait. I think it's important to focus on one idea at the time and work with others when the time and ability permits. Some of the points will require me to do some research as well, so it is for the better to focus on one at the time.
The points are (roughly in order from the most to the least important):
1. Lose Weight
2. Consistent NoFap
3. Sleep well
4. Be more productive at work
5. Go out more
6. Be more confident
7. Eat more consciously
8. Dress better
9. Walk daily
10. Exercise more and go to the gym
11. Take good care of your teeth
12. Keep your room tidy
I may expand on those points after I give it some more thought. On many of these points I work but not consistently and that's a huge problem. Others I neglected completely over past year as my ex was "accepting me as I was" and was finding excuses for my lazyness on many of the points. Some points I never worked on hard enough despite everything.
What I would like to do is to find some way to "gamify" these 12 points. One because I always found satisfaction in the point system games (for example I gamified my workouts and it works quite well I think), that is the best way to create habits for me.
One might ask me "where are women in these points?" and so I will answer this question right away. Women will appear naturally if I manage to improve in all of the fields here. None of the points are focused on women because they are focused on me and me alone. I think it is known that when you improve yourself as a man, as a person, more and better women you will attract. Also I have no intention on getting motivation from the outside (like women), I want to be getting it from my internal sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
